Vintage buckle on the definition.

Hello, please help to identify the buckle, crown approximately produced George III 1760-1820 William IV 1830-1837. UK, most likely from the belt, I would like to know the approximate cost. Thank you in advance, sincerely, Alexander.

Lukashenko-alex, welcome to TreasureNet.

Your buckle is a British Royal Navy buckle. The emblem on it shows the British Royal Crown above an anchor with rope. The crown became part of the British Navy's emblem in 1812, so your buckle cannot be from before that year.

The ruler in the photo shows your buckle is approximately 45 millimeters tall (approximately 1.75-inches). That size is appropriate for use on a Navy "dirk/dagger belt."

Its back shows the long vertical bar for attaching the buckle onto the belt... but the narrow hook for the belt's other end is broken off.

On your buckle, the emblem was manufactured separately from the buckle's main body, and was applied to it by small "tabs" which passed through a slot in the center of the buckle. The "attachment-tabs" can be seen at the center of the buckle's back. Having a separately-manufactured emblem is an important identification clue for time-dating the buckle.

I am not an expert on non-American military insignia... so the information given above is all I can tell you about your buckle. I hope some of the British/UK members of TreasureNet will be able to give you additional information about it.
